Letter: Why are drivers eager to cruise in left lane?

Dangerous behavior doesn't make much sense.

Editor:

The Nov. 5 Reading Eagle contained an article titled "States push to keep highway clear of left lane hogs." The Oct. 25 edition included "Rig wrecked in wrong-way crash," which described how a driver had moved her vehicle into the left lane soon after entering southbound Route 222 south from Route 61.

The day after the accident I drove past the site where the truck had been lying on its side and saw the guard rail being replaced. The location was significantly less than a half-mile from the entrance ramp.

I would like anyone who immediately pulls into the left lane as soon as they enter a four-lane highway to write a letter to the editor and explain their logic for doing this.

Many times I have seen it being done when there was absolutely no traffic in the right lane, and I cannot figure out why they move to the left, or who taught them to do that.
